Contribution Margin Calculator — free online

You set a price for something you sell, but how much of it actually stays with you after the costs that move with each sale? That number is easy to lose track of. We added a free tool that works it out — Contribution Margin — right in your browser.

What it does

You type in the selling price and the variable cost per unit. It gives you the contribution margin per unit, the margin as a percentage, and the total contribution. That tells you how much each sale really adds before fixed costs.

Nothing leaves your device

The whole thing runs in your browser. Your prices and costs are never uploaded and nothing is saved anywhere. When you close the tab, the numbers are gone.

How to use it

  1. Open Contribution Margin and enter your selling price.
  2. Add the variable cost per unit, and the quantity if you want the total.
  3. Read the margin per unit, the percentage and the total.

It's free with no limit. There are more small tools on the Apps page.
